The Universal Explainers

David Deutsch came up with this theory of knowledge that connects, I would say perhaps prepare in epistemology with physics. In constructive theory, you can express what information is in terms of these counterfactual properties of physical systems. Universal explainers are entities that can formulate universal explanations and therefore can conjecture new knowledge. The question of how does new knowledge come into the world is out of no knowledge is actually a major question addressed by Darwin's theory of evolution.
